the CRystal A.D. MCMLXIII l.h.S. 69 VoLume 38 puBlished By the Students of Lexington high School Lexington, VipginiA Although many centuries have passed since the times of ancient Roman and Greek culture, the basic ingredients of a good life remain the same. The men of yesterday had gods to reflect all of their needs and loves. The 1963 CRYSTAL uses these gods to show how the many activities of our school fill our needs to grow and learn. Our parity with ancient mythology in no way indicates a lack of progress. . .we mean to show marked progress based on firm and long established principles. 2 Contents Classes PAQe ... 9 Activities pAqe ... 39 featuRes PAQe ... 71 3 dedication In recognition of thirty-seven years of devoted service to the youth of the Lexington Community, each of whom has gained some measure of profit from his labors, we the Class of nineteen hundred and sixty-three dedicate our CRYSTAL knowing that no words of praise can ever express our true feeling for our friend and teacher, KENNETH ASHBY THOMPSON. 4 faculty MR.

The Romans ' and Greeks ' love for fine education of the mind and body was reflected in their worship of Minerva or Athena, as the Greeks called her. To- day we place prime importance on our education. Class work at Lexington High School comes before all other activities. For this reason Minerva intro- duces the first section of our yearbook.

SenioR histORy Although our class, as we now know it, came about only two years ago, many of the members have attained high positions in the class and other school activities. In our sophomore year we elected Stewart Barns as class president and Chuck Stinnett as Honor Court repre- sentative. These two led the class through a most success- ful year and soon we emerged as juniors. The junior year proved even more successful than the previous year. It was then that we elected Chuck Stinnett and Rayma Fox as class president and secretary- treasurer, respectively, and were honored to have two of our numbers, Richard Griffith and Rosa McLaughliri, elected vice president and secretary, respectively, of the student body. Betty Irons and Noell Coleman repre- sented the class on the Honor Court. This year was filled, too, with various projects to raise money for the traditional Junior- Senior Prom, which was held at the Lexington Moose Lodge. The theme was Aloha and music was p r o v i d e d by the Sabers of Washington and Lee University. At the end of the year, Richard Griffith was elected president of the student body. We all looked forward to being seniors. Finally we attained the exalted title of seniors and elected James Johnston, president, and Lisa Tracy, secre- tary-treasurer, of our class. Betty Irons, Noell Coleman, and Rosa M c L a u g h 1 i n were chosen our Honor Court Representatives. As we complete the final months of our High School experiences we become ever more grateful for the opportunities afforded us knowing that the preparation received will help us achieve the aims waiting in the years ahead. 29 JunioR Class plays host BRENDA AGNOR ELIZABETH ATTHOWE JOHN AX SANDRA AYRES PAUL BAKER LESLIE BARGER WANDA BARGER ELAINE BATCHELDER ROSEMARIE BENEDICT TOMMY BENNINGTON NANETTE BILYEU FRAZIER BISHOP CAROL BLACK CHRIS BOSWORTH LINDA E.

During the school year the Executive Committee and various sub-committees approved dances, supervised the Christmas basket drive, led the blessings at lunch, and during the second semester initiated a clean-up campaign. The Committee also collaboratedwith the Honor Court concerning the new honor system adopted last year, and made a study of the plan to determine its effectiveness.
